Hey guys,
I was completely unaware of the game until I came across the booth at Pax West. I played the PvP experience first (Mage) and then later during the con had a chance to play through the PvE experience (Tank).
I have since been trying to brush up on my knowledge of the game and its projected design. I am intrigued and look forward to following this game and its progress closely.

Welcome to the Community, where you'll be able to investigate this intriguing game here as much as you want! Have you any particular questions about the game after playing it/being there?
Welcome!
I have watched the stuff on the Ashes of Creation YouTube channel but was unsure if there was more info to be found on a wiki, fan collection, or other tool? Or even who would be best to field such a query?

There are plenty of helpful people on the forums and discord, so don't be shy to post any questions you might have- As for the Tank experience I felt the design was rather slow and cumbersome. There were some animation errors that may have contributed to this but over all the Tank had a large amount of downtime and that is just not my play-style. When I spoke with, I believe he was the lead designer, he mentioned that the build in the PvE experience was a Tank/Tank so it likely that it was by design that slower play-style.
- The world was very appealing to the eye but some of the colors blended together to form more of a blur of environment rather than clear distinction (that might just be the 90 day production rather than anything else).
- I am really curious how they intend to utilize the "Reveal" skills and how often and hidden the things they uncover will be. If you will need to bring certain classes to uncover various different hidden aspects of the world or if the Reveal is just a catch all and simply has a different name and perhaps animation for each class.
- The targeting and enemy retention left some things to be desired but again I figure that is more an issue of the 90 days rather than design.
- In the end the game was a strong and appealing representation of something I am interested in. And after further investigation the interaction of the Nodes and the system that surrounds them has kept my interest. I hope to earn a giveaway key so I can continue to follow the progress of the game and provide feedback where and when it is asked for.
And a warm welcome of course.
We should probably make a drinking game out of GOAT spotting the butt-cam footage.
Or were you just there often? I don't recognize the GOAT handle...sorry.
I had the same feeling about lack of impact with my placement on the PvP leaderboard with 5 captures.
But, also seemed like the Cleric should have had a higher placement based on damage and heals.
I imagine the devs will continue to tweak all of that, but it was fine for PAX.
Hope you have fun hanging out with us here while we wait to play.
